11/24/2004

Through two games, the UMBC men's basketball team has played to packed houses, drawing 3,122 in its home opener vs. Navy, and facing a tough Villanova crowd of 6,500 at the Pavilion. Well, UMBC has to go through that scene two more times, as they play in James Madison's home opener on Saturday and UMES's first home tilt on Wednesday. The Dukes opened their season last Saturday with a 59-50 win at LaSalle, while UMBC will try to rebound from a 66-41 setback to the Villanova Wildcats. Tip off time for UMBC vs. JMU is 7pm and fans can hear the action via the WEBCASTS link of www.umbcretrievers.com.
